Welcome back to another Hiking in Colorado 14er adventure! This week's adventure takes us down to the Sangre de Cristo mountains in southern Colorado. Ellingwood Point and Blanca Peak are two Colorado 14ers located within the Sierra Blanca Massif. These two 14ers can be accessed via the Lake Como approach. Unless you have a modified 4x4 vehicle, you won't be able to make it all the way up to the lake in your car. Most people will have to hike most of the way up Lake Como Road.

The Blanca Ellingwood traverse is a great way to get two 14ers in the same trip since most people do not enjoy hiking up the road. From the summit of Blanca Peak and Ellingwood Point, you get excellent views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Nearby is Little Bear Peak and Mount Lindsey. Please do your research before considering any of these hikes. This combination route begins from the Lake Como Trailhead and is approximately 18 miles and 6,800' of elevation gain.
